Guide for managers of travel teams

Registering with the South Central District

One of your roles as manager is to keep a schedule of games and record the result of league games with the South Central District (SCD). To gain access to your team, you will need to set up an account on the South Central District (if you don't have one) and assign yourself as manager to your team.

Adding or changing a home game on the Master Schedule

Because of limited field space, we need to coordinate the date and time of all home games. We've created a Master Game Schedulein the form of a spreadsheet on Google Docs. To add or change a home game, please follow this procedure:

Look at the Master Game Schedule to see if there is a field open on the date and time that you would like to play your game. The following fields are designated for the indicated teams:

Fields 1 and 2: U13/U14

Fields 3 and 4: U11/U12

Field 5: U14 - U19

Fields 6 and 7: U10

If a field is available, please email the game information (your team, game date and time, opponent, type of game: league or friendly) to
who will add the game to the Master Game Schedule.

You should periodically check the accuracy of your team's home games on the Master Schedule because our referee assignor assigns referees based off of this schedule.

Preparing for a game

One week before the game

Contact the manager of the opposing team and confirm the date and time of the game. If it is a home game, send the manager directions to our fields. If it is an away game, get directions from the opposing team's manager and send them to your team's parents.

Send a reminder to the parents of the date, time and location of the game and ask that they inform you if their child cannot make the game. If it is away game, include directions to the game in the email.
If your team employs a rotating roster (i.e. only some players on the roster are invited to play in each game), send your parents a list of the players on the roster for the game.

If it is a home game, check that the game is entered correctly on the Master Schedule.

If it is a home game, Patty will send a spreadsheet with all the home games and assigned referees. Confirm that the date and time of your game are correct.

Day of the game

Make sure that you have a current roster and all of your player passes. We will provide you with a PDF version of the roster that you can print.

At the game, referees will ask for the roster and player passes. Remember to collect the player passes after the game.

If it's a league game, enter the score into the SCD website. Usually, the team which wins will enter the score. Scores of friendly games do not need to be entered.
